... by life's opalescent sword of infatuation
as your impish grin sliced-open my heart;
and then it was so young and fresh.

in wonderment and fecundity of teen angst
i shrouded my little boy fears
with a confident air.

at length, harbouring the glee
caused by you seeing me
and skillfully veering
from the tag "desperate"
i lamented a dour sigh;
for our hearts could
not know the future,
as the universe looms
evergrowing,
so too does our pairing.

as days have blossomed
like spring bluebonnets,
into a vibrating uderza blue
while painting the earth
a rich argument of green,
you were at every turn
and my youthful ignorance
caused my lack of vision
and disabled me to see
you
were
the rainbow's
end.
